Diameter ~26 mm, wt 14.3 gms, some porosity.
This coin is particularly interesting because it shows the change in style that came about as Roman cultural influence followed conquest of the Hellenic world. The flabby and self-indulgent features of the real Philip as portrayed in his lifetime have become idealized as a warrior-hero which he never was.

VF, rev. slightly off flan

The stylis was a staff for a sail on the stern of a galley. So it can't be the prow on the rev. although it is often seen in the description.

Unusual porrtait! According to Pat Lawrence the style of the nymph seems to be from the late Hellenistic time ('Hellenistic Rokoko"), never from the 4th century BC.

This issue commemorated the expulsion of the pro-Macedonian tyrant Philistides in 340 BC. The next issue of Histiaean coins probably took place after the Euboean towns declared themselves independent in BC 313, but it does not seem to have been of long duration.

RIC 1418 VespasianAR Denarius, 3.20g
Ephesus mint, 70 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPAS AVG COS II TR P P P; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: LIBERI IMP AVG V-ESPAS; Heads of Titus, bare, r., and Domitian, bare, l., confronting; BY in r. field (on its side, obscured)
RIC 1418 (R3). BMC -. RSC -. RPC -. BNC -.
Acquired from Trusted Coins, eBay, September 2016.

The confronting heads of Titus and Domitian is one of the rarest reverse types struck at Ephesus for Vespasian. RIC lists this rare variant with mintmark sideways in right field as 'unique'. I was able to match my specimen's reverse die with another example (Lanz 128, 22 May 2006, lot 322) which showed the BY mintmark, confirming the coin's attribution. Since the publication of the new RIC, I have identified 4 specimens of this extremely rare variant, all from the same reverse die. Also, take note of the unusual break in the reverse legend: V - ESPAS.

Struck with nearly full legends in fine Ephesian style.
